Why do I like pre-timeskip one piece more than post-timeskip?

The character designs

Cause it was the first 5 or 7 times you were watching the same rotation and formula, rather than 14th or 17th

pros of time skip
>islands are weirder
>more strange devil fruit users
>steaks are higher.
>monsters and freaks are more common
>there are other crews just as strong as the straw hats
On the islands and out at see we see people who aren't just citizens, it's good knowing that there are other warriors out there.
> seeing character progression from the old days
> luffy actually struggling in fights
pre-time skip he really didn't have much trouble till Alabasta and even then he beat crocodile that arc, even though he was getting his ass handed to him near the very end.
>more world building and seeing the history of the planet
>better designs for Sanji and Franky
>seeing what other characters are doing in the world and the impact of our hero's actions
>more strange technology and ways of life

Cons
>nami and robin are is fanservice most of the time
>fights are hyped more than they should be
> countries are focused on more so than the growth of characters

Post-timeskip is tedious to read, I don't think weekly shonens are made to tell a story involving countless of side plots and characters every arc. It used to be more focused

yes

>>better designs for Sanji and Franky
>better design
>Franky
Absolutely discarded opinion

he's talking about pre timeskip there retard

never mind, that guy really thinks franky's design improved, i'm the retard

Worldbuilding for children is boring and pointless.

Everyone does.

It did.

just got into one piece a few months ago after binge reading it all in a week.

i enjoy it all as well

because it's better. OG anime art is better too genius

NO YOU CANT ENJOY BOTH, YOU CAN ONLY LIKE THE PRETIMESKIP

One Piece was better with a smaller crew of similar aged characters. The relationship dynamics were more natural, it was young people trying to find their way through the world.

Peak One Piece was Water 7, when the final crew member was Robin.

if i had to pin down why some people feel this way it's a lack of completed smaller story arcs with the fun big endings and the variety of locations/characters that come with that.

while i do miss that too i have completely enjoyed dressrosa and the adventure in totland and seeing where the greater story is eventually tied together which is what is largely responsible for squeezing out the smaller stories.

Because it was an arc every 2-3 months instead of every 2-3 years.

Focus on main characters instead of running around with dozens of badly-developed strangers.

Because you were younger pre-timeskip, which clouded your judgement, as does nostalgia now. The timeskip introduced a break in the narrative that allowed you to separate what came after from what came before, and see that newer stuff without nostalgia goggles. You see pre-timeskip as the child you were when you first saw it and you see post-timeskip as the adult you are now.

Jaya + Skypiea was peak One Piece, that's why

But user, I binged the entire series in like a month...

B-BAKANA! HAYAI!

Well, in that case, I don't know why you'd like one more than the other. They are pretty damn similar.

>It did.
pre-timeskip he looks like a cool cyborg
post-timeskip he looks like a toy soldier for giants
